QUESTION : How
many calories does a person burn walking???

ANSWER :
According to "The New Wellness Encyclopedia"
from the editors of the University of California at
Berkeley Wellness Letter, the calories burned per minute
of activity per pound of body weight are -

+ walking at a
normal pace over fields and hill - 0.037

+ walking at a
normal pace over asphalt - 0.036

+ climbing hills
-0.055

+ running a 6
minute mile - 0.115

+running an 8
minute mile - 0.095

+ running an
11.5 minute mile - 0.061

So a 150 pound
person will burn 5.55 calories per minute (150 X 0.037)
walking at a normal pace over fields and hills.
